I've never had a Twinkie (or a ho ho for that matter). Ever. Not once in my whole life. I even asked my mom if I'd had one as a kid and just didn't remember and she said nope.

I've seen them, I live in Iowa so it's not like they're unavailable they sell them at gas stations, grocery stores, etc...I've just never picked one up and ate it.

Growing up if we have treats like that in the house my mom always bought Little Debbie (Swiss Cake Rolls, Oatmeal Cream Pies, etc)...

DH just can't fathom someone going their entire childhood without eating a Twinkie. I had to remind him that I was 15 before I had bologna LOL and that was at a friends house, my mom never bought it...

I don't like twinkies at all or any of the things by hostess with the cream filling. I have not had any hostess sweets in years, but the only things I remember likeing were the little fruit pies, and the waxy chocolate mini donuts.
